stringsearch is abandoned

[locallycompact]

clash-lib has a dependency on stringsearch which has been abandoned and has no accessible source on bitbucket.

https://hackage.haskell.org/package/stringsearch

Would the preference here be to fork it from tarball and request maintainership, or replace this library with something else? (Not sure what)

We only use it here:

clash-compiler/clash-lib/tools/v16-upgrade-primitives.hs

Line 94 in e6522d7

go bs (orig,temp) = replace (ByteString.toStrict temp) orig bs

There are probably ways to remove that dependency :).

We've released v1.8.2, which includes a fix for this issue.
